REVIEW: The Avengers – A Twelve Year Old’s Perspective

After four years of anticipation starting out with Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk in 2008, Iron Man 2 in 2010 and in 2011 Marvel Studios brought us Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger.  All of these films to lead up to something that has never been done before, put all of these heroes into one movie. And now it’s finally here, The Avengers featuring Captain America, Iron Man, Thor and the Hulk in one movie!

The main plot of the film is that Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. brings together a team of super humans to help save the earth from Loki and his army.

Alright, let’s get onto what I thought of the film. The first thing I have to say is it was worth the wait. It truly is the best film I have seen in a while, it was great! Continue reading

NEW POSTER: Lovelace

We’ve been following the Linda Lovelace films for awhile now. It all started when Lindsay Lohan was cast to play pornstar turned political activist Linda Lovelace in the film Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story. Lohan has since departed that production and that is moving ahead with Malin Akerman (completely miscast) in the title role. Soon after all that, a competing biopic was announced simply called Lovelace. Casting finally settled on this production and Amanda Seyfried landed the role of Linda Lovelace.

I wasn’t sure if Seyfried had the look for Linda Lovelace but this new poster looks great and I can buy Seyfried in the role. See the full poster below.

Based on Eric Danville’s bio The Complete Linda Lovelace, the film follows Linda Boreman’s rise to fame as iconic porn star Linda Lovelace of 1972’s Deep Throat, and her subsequent transformation into feminist, anti-porn activist Linda Marchiano. The story is told through the perspective of three interviewers at various stages of her life.

Lovelace is directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman. It stars Amanda Seyfried, Peter Sarsgaard, Sharon Stone, Wes Bentley, Hank Azaria, Chris Noth, Robert Patrick, James Franco, Eric Roberts, Adam Brody, Chloe Sevigny and Sarah Jessica Parker.
